$R~=6.52942$ or $R~= -8.52942$ (Assuming $R in RR$ )

$(1+R)^4 = 3214$

$(1+R) = root4(3214)$

$1+R ~=+-7.52942$ (Assuming $R in RR$ )

Hence: $R~=6.52942$ or $R~= -8.52942$

$R = pm root(4)(3214) - 1$

We have: $3214 = (1 + R)^(4)$

Take the fourth root of both sides:

$=> (1 + R) = pm root(4)(3214)$

$=> R = pm root(4)(3214) - 1$
